Previously on Dance Academy...

You didn't think we'd worry? Who's 'we'?

Everyone! Your friends.

Not friends here. Have a great trip back.

Listen, guys, we're up against the last day of re-enrolment.

Have any of you heard anything?

The 'I quit' speech? I've heard it a hundred times.

For the next two weeks, you're off sick.

No classes, no work. Tell everyone you have glandular.

Where's Sammy? He's on, like, now. He was in an accident.

We're his family!

Early risers.

Studies by clever boffins

show they tend to be more positive and super successful.

Positivity - that's the key.

Sure, I've got reasons to be glum.

We all do, but glum won't get me into third year, no, siree!

Boffin fact 2.

Continuous exercise and smiling are two activities

which release endorphins - nature's antidepressants.

Therefore, if I keep this up, I'm gonna feel amazing!

And if I feel amazing, well, this whole year will be a piece of cake.

Not that I'm allowed cake.

Arggh! Escape is futile, earthling!

So, are you back or are you back?

This place is as good as any to cruise for a year.

Cruise? Classes are intense right now.

I'm back five minutes, and she already wants to pie-chart my life.

How do you possibly have Gaga tickets?

We have private after party Mardi Gras Gaga tickets.

Squeal!

There you are.

So, you know, Lucy?

I may scrape in a touch after curfew tomorrow night.

Actually, you'll be performing in Les Quatre Arbres,

and then heading directly to the boarding house.

Minor setback. Count me in.

Well, that was embarrassing. We have to set some ground rules of behaviour.

Yes, we do. I waited in my office for you this morning AGAIN.

I didn't realise our little catch-ups were compulsory.

We both acknowledged there were issues last year, so don't get narky when I check on you!

Wasn't making good friends top of our strategy?

When you graduate, you can cavort with the company girls as much as you like.

Until then, I embarrass you as much as I see fit.

Open your beats! Surely it's not such an impossible concept!

Open your beats! Get your heels down!

Is that Madame Petrova back from the grave?

Madame Petrova would never have put up with this sloppiness

from us when we were students.

She's right. Madame would beat us with her walking stick.

My delicate skin would bruise so easily.

Third years, I'd like to introduce Marcus Caine,

artistic director of the Austin Ballet.

Lucy's torn me from holiday mode

to reveal the entirety of my wisdom to the second years.

It should take about 15 minutes.

Oof!

So, you just bat those sleepy lashes and the academy begs you to come back?

I have friends in high places. How was Barcelona?

I have Lyme disease. Official bed rest.

Give me feeling, guys. If not for me, then for our guest.

Oh, ballet teachers, huh?

We imprison you for ten hours a day,

then we complain when you're not unique snowflakes.

Look, there's this assignment I've given my company before.

It's... Sorry, Zach, am I allowed to give assignments?

Nothing makes them happier. Good!

Now, to create different characters,

you need to step outside yourselves and your training, hmm?

Just let all that go.

Become actors.

Now, this piece you're doing, I want you to find someone.

A non-dancer. Study them from inside out.

What makes them tick?

Then I want you to reinterpret your performance as that person.

Come on, Wiki. Is Marcus single?

Divorced, I believe. How is that relevant?

We're old friends, we haven't seen each other in years.

Hi. Out. Out!

We're six weeks into term.

Christian and I could do one-on-one classes. It'd only be an extra 10 or 12 hours a week.

It's not just a matter of making up what's been missed.

Your place here depends on the scholarship.

The Board told me they've already redistributed those funds.

They meet again tomorrow. We could plead extenuating circumstances...

If it's too hard... We'll sort this out, alright?

This is where you belong.

Oh! Clumsy much?

Sorry. Don't worry about it.

I've seen you around, haven't I?

There are millions of girls who look like me.

It's a blonde thing. No-one really looks at the face.

I'm Nick, by the way.

I know. Um, I mean, you look like a Nick.

Yeah. Nick-esque.

OK, I'm gonna head off now.

So, who'd you pick?

This is some pretty angry stuff.

That's what I was going for.

This guy, he's not a good person.

Might sound namby-pamby,

but the assignment's about getting into this guy's head, yeah?

And seeing things from his perspective.

OK.

So, doughnuts help with dengue fever.

Get in!

Kat, tell him he can't wear this to his board interview.

Tell Tara I'm not dancing for the board in suit and tie.

So, you and Lucy would've spent a lot of time together in these hallways.

How do you mean?

She was pretty hot to trot back then, wasn't she?

Her and Mum? I've seen the pictures.

Oh, you're Maeve's daughter?

Oh, Grace, I'm so sorry to hear about...

Thanks. I didn't know her.

So, Lucy's something else, huh?

I only hope Javier appreciates it. Javier?

Don't get me wrong, he's handsome in a silver fox kind of way,

and you know, there's the whole mansion-on-the-harbour thing,

but would you date someone who didn't like ballet?

We've looked closely at your grades, Mr Reed,

and I have to say, for a scholarship student,

they fluctuate rather alarmingly.

Dancing isn't about exams for me. Never has been.

Perhaps you might start by explaining

why you decided not to come back at the start of the year.

Oh, man.

I... I just... I couldn't.

This school has invested a significant amount

of time and money in you, Mr Reed.

I think we deserve more than that.

Christian's second year suffered a terrible tragedy in the final semester.

We were all saddened by the loss,

but every other student managed to come back on time.

Christian was particularly close to Sammy Lieberman,

and I'm sure he can better articulate what he was going through.

Well, please, enlighten us.

Christian, wait! Didn't they want to see you dance?

Can't you see how desperate you look?

I don't know how to make it clearer. I do not want to be with you!

Hey, Nick. I'm sorry for my rapid retreat yesterday.

It's OK. I have that effect on people lately.

Peckish?

So, I guess you're living the life.

Bit of study, taking girls to lunch.

I thought you asked me, and medicine's more than a bit of study.

Sorry. I'm sure it's tough.

Whatever. Probably know all about me.

You knew my name, you must have heard.

Heard what? Oh, forget it.

It's not lunchtime conversation.

You can tell me.

Um... last year I was involved in an accident.

This kid. I hit him with my car.

I just assumed you were one of those emo psychology girls

who suddenly found me so much more interesting afterwards.

Anyway, the police finding was that it was an accident,

so I'm not guilty or anything...

Wow! It's all about you, isn't it?

That kid? His name was Sammy Lieberman, and, oh, gosh, I'm so sorry he ruined your year!

You were at the deposition. That's how I knew you.

How long have you been following me? Don't worry, that's over!

I just wanted to let you know,

to tell you, that you killed the best person I have ever known.

The plan is in place. This little monster is gaga for Gaga tonight.

I was thinking that maybe we should have dinner while I'm here.

I'd love to ask Javier about his superyacht.

Who?

Did I pronounce it right? Um, Javier?

Grace said he was Argentinean.

She'd know. Grace!

I'm trying to make you look interesting, and it's working, so reel him in!

You expect to be treated like an adult and you persist with this nonsense.

My private life is none of your business!

What private life, Miss Raine?

I am getting you one so you don't have to leech the fun out of mine.

I don't want it sitting there, haunting me.

Do you wanna get out of here?

Like I wanna be with him!

Sure, he did that half-fake declaration thing, but...

Stop me if this gets Christian weird. Totally fine.

He seriously thinks I'm clinging onto that.

Do you wanna come catch a glimpse of me at the back of the corps?

I'm just gonna grab some couch time. All's well in Kat land?

See ya.

I wanna maximise the free time, not control it,

but it just sits there, looming, hours upon hours.

This was meant to be a hip-hop thing. It says right here.

Hello, kiddies! It's gonna be a scintillating night!

Penny Drops. Magical Mardi Gras cabaret experience.

Now, all the way from Twizbackistan,

please pop your pedals up for the lovely Lilith!

And we're going.

I paid for you and we get a free entree.

Fun starts now.

I'm sorry you didn't get to go out with your friends.

Marcus, he was my boyfriend all through the academy,

and then as well in the company.

You crazy kids were in love?

But then he left, and I, well, I stayed.

He had adventures, got married, had children.

The swine.

When you started making up stories to make me more interesting,

you hit a sore spt.

I wouldn't have done a Javier if I'd known.

You're right, I could have told you.

I know how to be a ballet teacher and a principal, but not...

I'm not saying I see myself as your mother.

I would never presume... I've never had a proper one.

So, I wouldn't know if you were doing it wrong anyway.

No, no, no, Grace, hang up!

No, hang up. Hang up!

Hello, Lucinda Raine!

Oh, no, you're right, Marcus, I called you.

If this works, I can go to Gaga? Not a chance.

They were like vultures, waiting for me to cry over Sammy.

Do the girls really find this angst so dreamy?

As if I'd use him like that. Think you're honouring Sammy?

You're exploiting his memory as an excuse to drift.

And yes, I am aware that's...

Oooh, look at those pins.

Don't tell me I've got a dancer in the audience.

Guilty. Good!

I'll have to tell Stefan you're watching.

He needs to lift his game.

Why is it the ones with the natural talent always end up so complacent?

It's the ego, surely.

Now, a little birdy told me that there's a very special boy out there

who's ready to throw in the dance towel,

but his friend wants to reignite his passion flame.

Where's Christian? Christi... Oh, Christian!

Come on up, don't be shy! Come on, everybody.

Let's give him some magical cabaret courage!

Christian! Christian!

Christian! Christian! Christian! Christian!

Come on, love! Christian! Christian!

He's in the room You stop and stare

He's a tease, hint of sleaze but a classy affair

It's a fact, what an act He's a rabid star

Get up, shake your butt You'll go so far

There's nothing in the world he hasn't done before

With a voice that is choice Hey, could you ask for more?

Appealing, revealing The dance floor's reeling

The boy really knows how to

I'm gonna show you a diva

I'm gonna show you a diva

Diva

OK, donation chart.

Everyone's been chipping in, just in case your scholarship doesn't come through.

It's at $76.

Wait till the lamington drive slash bikini car wash.

This is... You guys didn't need to...

Look, we already lost one good mate last year.

We've missed you, Reedo.

What do you want?

Oooh, eggs, bacon. Bacon and eggs?

Look, I haven't been stalking you.

After the hearing, I had to know what sort of person you were.

Once they told me it wasn't my fault,

then if Sammy wasn't real,

like, if I didn't know his friends or family...

somehow I could live with it.

How do you? I don't.

I don't live with it.

I think I just... I show people what they want to see, you know?

Like my parents.

They want it to be over and OK, so I pretend like it is.

I've been hating the guy who killed Sammy ever since it happened...

You should. You should hate me.

I'm so sorry.

So, staying positive, how long do I have to keep that up?

Because 'amazing' seems like a fair way off.

Thanks for seeing me again. I really appreciate your time.

I'm at the academy with my friends.

I have this second chance to get my life right.

Gory details over lunch?

I've already promised Marcus. Next time.

Oh!

Everyone's always said that if I just stopped messing around -

'Suck it up, Kat, keep smiling, it's the one thing you're truly good at.'

I worked hard on Marcus's assignment,

but I didn't end up using Nick as the subject.

Instead I chose a stranger.

Someone I'm only starting to figure out.

Someone I'm a little scared of.

Me.
